On 20 December 2021, Palm Garden
Hotel joined Marriott Bonvoy Hotels and Resorts as a fully managed hotel,
branded as Palm Garden Hotel, Putrajaya,
a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. The property underwent a major transformation in
2023 and re-opened again on 1 November 2023 as a reimagined boutique hotel
catering for modern mavericks with a blend of local culture and modernity.
Nestled in the 788-acres of scenic
and lush surroundings of IOI Resort City, this 31-year resort was born from a
rich rubber plantation land where a stunning 27-hole golf course was built. The
hotel was initially constructed as a serviced apartment to complement the
booming golf club. However when the Government announced that the adjacent
Putrajaya was to become Malaysia’s new administrative center, our late owner
Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng had the foresight to convert the serviced apartment into
a 151-room hotel. Which explains for the spacious and unique structure of the
hotel rooms. Known as the Tree Whisperer and building his empire from palm oil,
late Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng naturally loved the palm tree and thus Renaissance
Palm Garden Hotel was born in 1995 alongside the existing Palm Garden Golf
Club. With late Tan Sri Lee’s success in Palm Oil and Property Development, he
was always passionate of his roots and wonderful moments of his days in the
palm estate. It was evident that palm trees would be a main fauna planted
profusely in the lush grounds of IOI Resort City.
